Setup

This framework is standalone so if you want to use a particular graphics API you must create a class that inherits from an abstract class Platform and implement the following methods:

  • DrawRect - draws a rectangle on a screen
  • FillRect - draws a filled rectangle on a screen
  • DrawText - draws a text on a screen
  • DrawLine - draw a line between 2 points on the screen
  • GetMousePos - returns a mouse position
  • GetMouseButton - returns a current state of a mouse button
  • GetKey - returns a state of a key
  • IsCaps - checks whether caps is enabled or not
  • GetDeltaTime - returns difference between last and current frames

Or if you use defGameEngine there is Platform_defGameEngine class

Check Example.cpp to see how you integrate platform in your code
